My Output is filled with rows of errors/warning that from what I can tell from my research everyone just ignores. (Sample pasted bellow). I've done a little digging and I think the culprit is AutomationProperties. I've learned a lot for the next time I need to develop an accessible application but for this one I don't need LabeledBy,HelpText,...
Assuming I'm right with my analysis that AutomationProperties is causing these outputs. How do I go about silencing/muting/[Render unable to output to console].
I'm trying to clean up my output so that when my application writes to console I'm not required to dig through 95% of identical rows that will "always" be ignored.
As a general question - How do you silence things polluting the output (useful information not needed for current project).

Oddly following the steps to Display WPF Trace Information solved my issue.
I don't know why the instructions say to turn off the settings you want but it solved my issue:
Under WPF Trace Settings, click the category of settings that you want to enable (for example, Data Binding).
A drop-down list control appears in the Settings column next to Data Binding or whatever category you clicked.
Click the drop-down list and select Off.
It didn't solve the problem of trying to display the Tree but it did solve the issue I had in the post: My output being littered with "harmless" lines of text.
If you want to hide the problem I'd recommend this step. If you want to resolve the issue I would recommend the link provided by @"Olivier Rogier" Lots of unexpected “Cannot retrieve value using the binding” errors or the link found in the answer of that link Resolving harmless binding errors in WPF. I hope this answer helps someone. Thank you @Olivier for you help.
